Was Fannie Mae a reason to never buy a house?

Mt. Gox news weighs down other exchanges but only the ignorant and stupid ever seriously considered Mt. Gox as a measure of value.

Before they decided to commit insider trading to cancel the fact they are insolvent and have been for nearly a year, the value of bit coins were significantly higher on their exchange.

It bitstamp was 815, BTC-e was 805 and, and Huobi was 830, you could bet your ass Mt.Goy was going to be over 950 dollars.

Now every other exchange is around the 550 mark while Mt.Goy plummets because they have blocked withdwawals and are panicing their consumer base to sell to them at unfair low prices only to then sell those 100 dollar bitcoins elsewhere for 500 dollars.

I was new to bitcoin in October and simple research told me to not trust Mt. Gox

I don't know whether to short and send money there or not. What you said is what I've been thinking for a while. I do expect them to come back though, and I wouldn't mind sending 10% of what I have left to them.

They've been knowingly manipulating their own market though.

We've known for a long time that they were trading with customer coins and losing - thus the issues with withdrawing fiat - and now they've probably lost a few thousand coins by theft/coding issues - but now with this very successful market manipulation, they have the potential to have injected funds and purchased themselves all they way back into the black.

I could stand to lose some coins.

Investing 15% of my holdings for example, would be acceptable, given the immediate return of 400%.

Is there really a 75% or greater chance that they are going to book it and run?

>> No.101272

>>101233
It's hard to say, seeing how their books are pretty damn closed right now. A possible scenario is that they buy up all their customers coins themselves right now, later dump them on other exchanges, hope that this kills prices, then pay out the cash and laugh at those who want coins from them.

Another scenario is that they're actually trying to get up again and hope for some cash injection with low prices. But in that case they're still gambling with customers coins.

Either way, if someone now manages to get a lawsuit running to get their shit paid out now, they'd have a massive problem.

As for booking it and running, I doubt it. Not worth the risk, too much money involved. They'd have to run damn far. It's not like no one knows who they are.

>> No.101316

>>101272
They don't need to sell coins on other exchanged, nor do they need cash injections.

All they needed to do was to short when they made the announcement, then buy back 5-6x the coins before they start allowing withdrawals again.

Doing that would be able to fill any discrepancies in bitcoin holdings, and once the price rises to normal levels, the extra holdings they acquired during this scam can be sold and to make up for their lack of fiat.

>> No.101345

>>101316
> and once the price rises to normal levels
This is the main point. People have to trust them again for this, though. That is, people have to be willing to give them money and believe they will get goods for it. After this, that'll be a tough call.

>> No.101423

>>101345
People are just shorting to increase holdings right now. It's not like they can withdraw funds anyway, even if they sell at $100.

If they start allowing withdrawals again, their credibility will be right back where it was a couple weeks ago.

Either that, or they'll take all the markets down to $300 with them.

People will buy wherever it is cheapest - as long as they allow withdrawals - regardless of what is happening right now.

>> No.101435

So what you are saying is basically, mtgox is just putting any old number on their site, consistently getting lower, in hopes of simply having idiots send them money and not being able to move the coins you purchase to another exchange or wallet...

Is this really the case and how can that be the truth? Or is it just a gamble that if you buy with them at that price that they will allow some withdrawls of the coins at some point in the future?

I mean...I simply dont get it. If a bank put out a sign saying 'we take money but wont give it back'...why would anyone deposit money there? How is this functional?

no; I'm saying that is unnecessary.
also, they can't just put any number, unless they really ARE just selling goxcoins and this whole thing is an elaborate scam to take more and more money before MTGox disappears forever.

That is too overly simplified. BTC is a commodity.

It's like if a bullion holder (say, the treasury) was speculating (poorly) with depositor's (say, Germany's) deposits, and then told Germany "we can't show or return your deposits right now", and then shorted all their remaining bullion, hoping that the market will crash, which would allow them to refill their vaults and make good on their debt.

Name one.

>> No.105092

So basically what we are saying here is mtgox is just continually lowering prices in an attempt to sucker people into buying coins from them with no real guarantee that they will ever see the coin.

Again, it goes back to what anon said...and since its called a commodity...its like if you went to jewgoldbergstein and said i want to buy your gold but he has to keep it in his vault...but he had a sign out front saying 'no withdrawals, maybe withdrawals in the future, i dont know'.

and basically, you are just supposed to trust the jewman will let you withdraw someday. maybe, he just doesnt know when or if he will let you withdraw. its really up to him if he is feeling kind enough someday to let you have access to your gold. which he likely wont...

is this a correct assumption?

This goy gets it.

The BTC world will be much better once Gox is eliminated for good and dumbfags quit factoring in their rando price graphs. Until I can actually get btc for $90 bucks via a REAL exchange like btc-e or coinbase (where withdrawls do work), then a nigga just sits back and laughs at this booshiet.

BTC will rebound hard to 1k+ again just like it did after the china ban and silk road debacle.

Who cares? Alts are alts. It's inherent in their names. BTC will always be the standard by which other alts are measured.

BTC also has a hard cap limit, just like any other alt coin.

Sure, most alts will just end u being pump n dumps when all is said and done, but who's to discredit any of them from being truly adopted globally in the future or even surpass btc? It's certainly a very dated code and technology now. Unless you wanna show me yo crystal ballz, son.

5 years ago everyone was saying how myspace will continue conquering the interwebs. Then it was twitter. Now it's vine. Oh, how about altavista search engines before google?

Learn the crypto market before you spout about. It was the very same people like you the past 3 years that spread the same FUD about btc when it was only 5 to 10 dollars.

Do we really need to keep looking at data over and over, or will some of you remember this ass whooping I am about to hand out?

http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/markets/info

Gox isn't even listed on that site because that it is now known that it isn't an exchange at all. But wait, that is actually a stupid point of data that doesn't even matter at all, much like what you said. So look at the volume of BTC trading per day across all the exchanges.

BTC Total Trading = 450k/day
Gox BTC Trading (last known data) = 20k/day

So do you think that Gox alone is going to bring the price down by FIFTY FUCKING PERCENT in a market where they make, or rather, made up a FIVE PERCENT share?

If any of you want to sound like you have an argument for why your investment is better or why a certain market will behave in some way, you better bring at least the smallest little bit of data analysis with you. After all, numbers are worth more than words.
